Off to Granada!

We will be in Granada tomorrow through Saturday, so I will probably not have access to a computer. I will update the blog as soon as I can when I return. I went back to the Park today, and discovered even more of it's beauty as I explored farther and farther in. There are so many statues in the park-white marble figures that seemingly hover over fountains. I found the man-made lake where people can boat--it's huge and is framed on one side with the silhouette of yet another architecturally incredible building. There was also a block-long labyrinth made of perfectly-trimmed square bushes, containing two fountains and overflowing with the sight and scent of roses. I think that is where I will spread some of Gene's ashes when I come back this weekend. I also had some of the most amazing gelato this evening at the heladería below our apartment. It was one scoop of nata (which tasted a lot like milky-coconut) topped with a sample scoop of trufa, a smooth, rich chocolate taste, all served in a little waffle-cone cup: much smaller than those in America. I'll definitely be returning for more!
